Obamas set to hit campaign trail with Kamala Harris for first time

(Reuters) - Democrat Kamala Harris will campaign for the first time with Barack and Michelle Obama in separate events next week, hoping to inject some political star power in the final dash to election day in November, a senior campaign official said.

The former president and his wife remain immensely popular with the Democratic base and are expected to be effective closers in the final stretch of a campaign relying on turnout from loyal Democrats in states where victory margins are thin.

Michelle Obama is set to campaign for the first time this election cycle, appearing with Harris on Saturday, Oct. 26 in Michigan. The former first lady's pull-no-punches speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this year accused Trump of fear mongering his way to power.

Barack Obama is set to campaign with Harris next Thursday in Georgia. He has been crisscrossing the battleground states, with a solo event recently in Pittsburgh, and more to come in the coming days in Tucson, Las Vegas, Detroit and Madison.
